Reese's PB Cup Pie | A recipe

I don't bake often, but when I do, I guess I volunteer to do dessert for the family Christmas party and then decide I'm going to make three. I don't know what I'm trying to prove, or why I thought this was a good idea, but it actually turned out really well and wasn't too hard at all.

Make sure to take breaks in between desserts so you don't start to hate baking altogether!

One of the recipes I made was a Reese's pie that was a variant of this recipe here. Due to my inability to consume products with high amounts of lactose, such as whipped cream, I had to adapt the recipe to fit my dietary restrictions and shopping abilities; it worked for me so I thought I'd share it with y'all.

Salmon | A review

In the past month are so, I have had salmon at three different restaurants (Mother's Day, Wildfire, and Nonna D's). I love salmon.

All of these salmons were made differently, mostly safe and none too adventurous. So, if you're in the area and looking for salmon, I've got some recommendations for any eater. I'm not one for flavors on either extreme end of the spectrum (that is, I can't handle spice but I do need flavor). I enjoyed each of the salmon dishes, and finished all three before leaving the restaurants, and have rated each, in order of preference.

3. Mother's Day on Cermak (North Riverside) - Broiled Salmon:

The broiled salmon is served with rice, potatoes, and vegetables, succeeding a choice of soup or salad.


Overall, the salmon was good, and I would definitely order it again.

The rice was over-salted, but still edible; the potatoes were under-salted. Neither the potato nor the vegetable mix stood out over the salmon.

I chose to put the broiled salmon in last place because it was generally unmemorable, besides it being tender and enjoyable moist. On the Dysh app, a food-rating and -reviewing app for your phone, I did award the dish a 90/100.

RATING: 5/10
